Apparent lability of neural tube closure in laboratory animals and humans.

Abstract excerpt

Neural tube defects (NTDs), a set of structural abnormalities affecting the brain, spinal cord, and the skeletal and connective tissues that protect them, are common malformations among humans and laboratory animals. The embryogenesis of the neural tube is presented to convey the complexity of the phenomenon, the multiplicity of requisite cellular and subcellular processes, and the precise timing of events that...
